Since 2006, the Alden football program has got better every single season. In 2006, the J.V. Bulldogs went 2 and 5. One year later, they went 7 and 1 and finished second in the division. In 2008, they won 7 games for the second straight season. In 2009 the Bulldogs lost their first game and then won the next 8 games to finish the year with an 8 and 1 record. Also in this year, the Bulldogs claimed a share of the division title with Pioneer and Lackawanna. The final game of this season resulted in the Bulldogs beating one of the best J.V. teams in Western New York which was Hamburg who is a much larger school than Alden. This year the Bulldogs finished with 9 and 0 undefeated record. The Bulldogs won their division title and the Section 6 Class B title over Depew. Alden was the only J.V. school in Section 6 Class B to go undefeated. The J.V. Bulldogs are also currently on a 17 game winning streak. That is pretty impressive. Going back to the 2006, the Varsity Bulldogs had a record of 2 and 7. In 2007 they doubled their win count and won 4 games. The next season, they once again doubled their win count and won 8 games. In that season, the Bulldogs won their division title and fell one game short of playing for a Sectional Championship at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The next season, Alden only won 7 games, but they actually went further in the playoffs and got the opportunity to play at Ralph Wilson Stadium for a sectional championship. Alden lost that game to Cheektowaga by a score of 26 to 13. This season, Alden won 10 games and made it to the state playoffs for the first time in school history. Alden played in a Sectional Championship for the second straight season against the Lackawanna Steelers. Alden won 14 to 12. It was the first time since 1983 that the Bulldogs won a Sectional Championship. That is a great accomplishment. Hopefully in the upcoming seasons the program keeps getting better so even more great things can be accomplished by the Alden Bulldogs football program.
